For my card today I chose to pair the Christmas stamp from this set with some clear embossing powder and the Frosted paper.

I first cut a 2.5" by 5.25" piece of Frosted paper and heat embossed the stamp with clear embossing powder on the lighter side of the paper. I used a bit of Juniper and Crystal Blue ink and sponged it over the embossing to bring out the un-embossed parts. I also took the crystal blue and sponged it on the bigger piece using the other side of the Frosted paper since I wanted to make it a bit more greenish hue. I added a sparkle flourish and a metal flower. I switched the sparkle in the metal flower out for an Aqua Dot. I also added a couple Base & Bling Teal Jewels to the top right. The card base is colonial white.

Hope you enjoyed my project and you continue through the hop to see the awesome projects my fellow CTMH consultants have for you today.
